conviction
sitting in the interrogation room
asked to recount the day in question
baby blue eyes that would be my doom
i was too naive to know this all then
he walked through the halls then flashed me a smile
the king of my heart was wearing his crown
i saw him there with that stunning girl
and felt as my heart sunk down, down down
i know that all they want is a confession out of me
i recognize the reid technique
i never thought about that boy and all that we could be
until my lawyer arrives, i won’t speak
but in my mind i knew
i wanted sunsets and movies and laughing all night
bringing me roses after our first fight
dancing and dreaming, exploring the world
but he’s doing it all with another girl
and if i told myself that i hadn’t dreamed
maybe i could make it through this hell
it didn’t bother me that he didn’t want me
and maybe if i say it with conviction, i’ll believe it myself
the detective was failing to build rapport
i couldn’t escape and i needed more time
his leading questions i just ignored
was loving a taken boy such a crime?
i know that all they want is a confession out of me
i feel flustered by their technique
i never thought about that boy, i swear, i’m not guilty
when my lawyer comes, you’ll hear me speak
but in my mind i knew
i wanted sunsets and movies and laughing all night
bringing me roses after our first fight
dancing and dreaming, exploring the world
but he’s doing it all with another girl
and if i told myself that i hadn’t dreamed
maybe i could make it through this hell
it didn’t bother me that he didn’t want me
and maybe if i say it with conviction, i’ll believe it myself
and at the end of the day if i convinced myself that i didn’t really want you
i wouldn’t have to worry ‘bout my trial
and i wiped all my prints clean and i know my miranda rights
i’ll never lead you to the body
i guess that we’ll be in here for a while
i wanted sunsets and movies and laughing all night
bringing me roses after our first fight
dancing and dreaming, exploring the world
but he’s doing it all with another girl
and if i told myself that i hadn’t dreamed
maybe i could make it through this hell
it didn’t bother me that he didn’t want me
and maybe if i say it with conviction
i really don’t want a conviction
but maybe if i say it with conviction, i’ll believe it myself
